Thought all your guys might be interested in this. Apparently a new public range is under construction in Cowlitz County by the Cowlitz Game & Anglers club. Here's a link for more info for those that are interested:

Last I heard it was tentatively set at $7 per day. That might have changed a bit since the cost of construction, equipment, and materials has also gone up. But if it has, it's not by much. Between donations and numerous grants they have received, the project is well funded.
